[Vision2020] Moscow Tea Party

[Scott Dredge]

Gary,

I had no complaints about medicare part D.  It makes sense to me that older folks ought to have access to the medicine that they need and would not otherwise be able to afford.  I'd like that same benefit to be in place when I'm in the same situation of needing meds but not being able to afford them.

Also, do you really think the Republicans are so much better when they're in power versus the Democrats?  It seems to me that either the economy just cyclicly tanks big time roughly every 34 years (1930. 1974, and 2008) and /or this is due to Republican rule.  Since neither party is capable of containing the all powerful spending lobbies, I don't think Republican 'borrow and spend' policy is any better - and is in all likelihood worse - than Democrat 'tax and spend' policy.

And why is that all the obvious and predictable trouble created by Frank, Dodd, and Company can not be overturned and fixed once the Republicans have consolidated power in all three branches of American government from 2000-2006?  Incompetence?  Greed?  Washington DC Hookers?  All of the above?  What other explanation can there be?

I'm no fan of the AIG bailout an the so-called 'retention' bonuses of $750,000 and up for the AIG executives who ran that company into the ground.  This just again looks like more rewarding of incompentence and greed.

Since both parties suck, the only other thing that keeps the electorate voting for their pet party must be social policy.  Basically abortion and gay rights and few other corner case battle lines.

Still just sitting back and watching all the fun,

-Scott

Why indeed! When GW lost his mind and implemented medicare 
part D who complained? The same folks you might have seen at the 15 April 
protest. Who did you hear nary a peep from? democrats and liberals. When the 
pathology got worse and the man started in with bail out fever, who complained? 
The exact same people you would have had the pleasure of meeting on NSA square 
on tax day. Who was conspicuously silent? The folks who created the problem, 
Frank, Dodd, & Co. and the people who elected them. When our current 
illustrious president was running for his most recent community organizing 
position we heard quite a few promises about fiscal responsibility. Now that 
he's in the cat bird seat what do we have? Spending that makes Bush look like 
Ebenezer Scrooge. I think that I can safely say that no one at the gathering 
felt the slightest bit of shame other than for the sorry direction that the 
country seems to be headed in under our current leaders gross fiscal 
mismanagement.

  Anyone who was at this protest yet did not attend one protest about Bush 
  over the last eight years should be ashamed of him or herself.

    Think it was only conservatives at the protest?
Think again.
